Ok:

I have the world's largest collection of:

1.Caulk guns (metric ass load)

Those things are funny. You care for them, use them a few times and give
them a nice spot in a drawer or on pegboard and they disappear. You
think you've provided them with a good home, but off they go. (Any wrench
is glad to have such a home--why not a caulk gun?)

The ones I've kept track of often are the ones with a tube of something
in them, so maybe that's what the others leave to find. Once found,
though, they often hide with their tube and only pop up once you discover
their hiding places. Sometimes it takes years.

Keeping caulk guns is like herding cats. :-)

I had about a half dozen of the real cheap ones in a bucket. They were
all encrusted with tar or glue or whatever. One day, I through them all
and wondered why the heck I was buying $3 "disposables" and holding on
to them for decades. I went out and bought a very nice $13-ish caulk gun
that is a pleasure to use..... that is, if any pleasure can be derived
from using a caulk gun.
